## What is Hay Cam?

Hay Cam is a retro film camera built for iPhone. Every frame you see in the viewfinder is the frame you keep — colors, grain, halation, light leaks,
  and timestamp burn-in are rendered live with Metal, never tacked on as a filter.
  
  WHY HAY CAM
  Most "vintage" camera apps stack filters on top of a normal photo. Hay Cam doesn't. The film look is part of the capture pipeline, so what you frame
  is what you get. Tap the shutter and you hear a real leaf-shutter click, feel a haptic pulse, and get a full-resolution photo saved straight to
  your library.

  LIVE FILM LOOKS
  • Authentic 3D LUT color grading from classic film stocks
  • Halation — that warm red glow on highlights, just like real film
  • Optional date burn-in (90s camcorder style)
  
  SHOOT LIKE A REAL CAMERA
  • Camera personas: Film 35mm, VHS, CCD, Polaroid-style chrome
  • Lens focal lengths: 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm equivalents
  • Manual ISO and shutter speed with live readout
  • Exposure compensation strip (EV bias)
  • Tap to focus and lock exposure
  • Front and back cameras, hardware flash plus screen flash for selfies
  • Portrait orientation, optimized for one-hand shooting
  
  SENSORY DETAILS
  • Real leaf-shutter sound effect
  • Haptic pulse on capture
  • Mechanical viewfinder UI with retro fonts
  • Splash and shutter animations tuned for that "real camera" feel

  the photo.
